This is great stuff.  All of this is making the man page much more 
intuitive to read.  For example, it becomes obvious that a VLAN can only 
be created over an Ethernet link. :-)

      Each dladm subcommand  operates  on  one  of  the  following
      objects:

      link      A datalink, identified by a name.  Some subcommands
	       operate only on certain types or classes of datalinks.
	       For those cases, the following object names are used:

	       phys-link     A physical datalink.
	       vlan-link     A VLAN datalink.
	       aggr-link     An aggregation datalink (or a key; see NOTES)
	       ether-link    An Ethernet datalink.
	       wifi-link     A WiFi datalink.


      dev       A network device, identified by concatenation of a
                driver name and an instance number.


      secobj    Secure     objects,     identified      by      an
                administratively-chosen alphanumeric name.

I'll provide a pointer to the final manpage shortly with all of this 
stuff incorporated.
